Lurker from St Louis

[Ol Red Duc]

Hello all, I've been checking this forum out for many years now and thought I'd finally say hello. I'm on the prowl for the right ti to add to my fleet, so thought I'd better get my post count up for when one hits the classified section here. While I like a variety of color combinations offered by BMW on the e36, hellrot is the color for me -- I'm hoping to find a slicktop Hellrot to put an M3 exterior on and put a big motor in (whether its an "m3 swap" or duplicating the N52 swap, or even going LSx) for a little hot rod. I currently drive a 2011 328i 6MT RWD wagon that, all things being ideal, would be the donor for the N52 after it gets an S65. You know, normal pipe dreams

Anyway, thats what I'm after. Slicktop Hellrot that hasn't been beaten into the ground, or is at least savable. I've wanted a ti for far too long to be unwilling to restore it, but I think the color and sunroof status is what needs to be found.
